Analysis
During a landing in calm wind conditions, the acft bounced, became airborne again & touched down further down the 2000' rwy. The plt applied brakes & 'dumped' the flaps for max braking, but to no avail. The acft slid off the grass rwy & subsequently went over an embankment, collapsing the nose gear & damaging the right main gear, prop & eng cowling.
